CatholicTV Network is creating a special version of its monthly magazine that will include a pair of 3-D glasses to allow subscribers to view 3-D programming at CatholicTV.com.

While the programming will remain Web-based for now, the network is considering broadcasting 3-D episodes on television.

Nine programs will be offered in 3-D on the Web site, including “This is the Day,” the network’s talk show that features Catholic news and guest appearances.

Episcopal Church approves second gay bishop

The Episcopal Church has approved the election of the Rev. Mary Glasspool as assistant bishop in the Diocese of Los Angeles.

According to wire reports, the decision makes Glasspool the second openly gay bishop in the Anglican global fellowship.

"I am ... aware that not everyone rejoices in this election and consent, and will work, pray and continue to extend my own hands and heart to bridge those gaps, and strengthen the bonds of affection among all people, in the name of Jesus Christ," Glasspool said in a printed statement.

Glasspool, along with the Rev. Diane M. Jardine Bruce, will be consecrated on May 15.

The Episcopal Church consecrated the first openly gay bishop, V. Gene Robinson, in 2003. In response, conservatives have formed a rival church, the Anglican Church in North America.
